Paterson Super System 4 Universal Dev Tank and 2 Reels

Great quality and easy to use, Its peoples lack of experience being poor for people struggling to use the reels They need more training.

Works fantastic for developing film when paired with a black bag for blocking out the light. Had no issues developing film many times using this method, although you are blind when using this as you cannot use your vision to know what's going on, so you have to feel around in the bag with it and get it to slide into the system properly. I no longer develop my own film as it's incredibly boring, but if you have an interest in doing so, this product is fantastic.

Bought this to replace one I`d bought and regularly used for far too many years to remember. There have been a few changes to the design of the tank but on first use I was reassured there was nothing detrimental about the new design. If this one lasts as long as the previous one(and there`s nothing faulty about it, just thought I should update before anything does go wrong), I`ll be more than happy.

A great tank. The reels are not as easy to load, with 120 film as the older Paterson reels. They have too much "give". You just need to be a little gentle with them. Other then that, a very good tank. And it's tight, so no spillage.

its a paterson tank... there is not much else to say. it works as it should do. its in working order and in essence is a bucket with a lid and spool. its second hand and so is ALWAYS going to leak a little but a new one probably would anyway. was bought as a present.

The standard in developing tanks for 35mm and 120 film. Tried, tested and refined over many years. Good quality and easy to use.

Great tank, lid works well, no spills. Reels are a little tight to change to 120 but once you have done this a few times they work well.

I've used this and only this tank (in it's various previous forms) for nearly fifty years. The design has changed very little - and the film spiral not at all. It works well with both 35mm and 120. I'm sure there is a better design, the ratchet sytem can't be the best/only way to load film, but nobody has ever come up with an alternative (as far as I know). If you want to get into film developing this is where to start.
